# 5.MDR.7: Measurement & Data Analysis

Solve problems involving customary measurements, metric measurements, and time and analyze graphical displays of data to answer relevant questions.

- Subject: Mathematics
- Appears in: Grade 5, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/math/grade-5.md

## Expectations

- **5.MDR.7.1**: Explore realistic problems involving different units of measurement, including distance, mass, weight, volume, and time.
- **5.MDR.7.2**: Ask questions and answer them based on gathered information, observations, and appropriate graphical displays to solve problems relevant to everyday life
- **5.MDR.7.3**: Convert among units within the metric system and then apply these conversions to solve multistep, practical problems.
- **5.MDR.7.4**: Convert among units within relative sizes of measurement units within the customary measurement system.

## Georgia Milestones coverage

- Mathematics Grade 5 (EOG). Measurement & Data Reasoning. Solve problems involving customary measurements, metric measurements, and time and analyze graphical displays of data to answer relevant questions. (about 12% of the test; 7 points)

## What mastery looks like

Georgia's Achievement Level Descriptors. The levels are cumulative: each includes the ones before it. Proficient is on grade level.

- **Beginning**: Identify the appropriate unit of measurement to solve a realistic problem. Ask statistical investigative questions that can be answered by gathering data from relevant situations.
- **Developing**: Convert units within the metric system requiring one step (e.g., centimeters to meters). Convert units within the customary measurement system requiring one step (e.g., inches to feet). Informally describe the center and spread of a set of data shown in a graphical display. Gather information by developing survey questions that would yield the data needed to answer a statistical investigative question.
- **Proficient**: Convert units within the metric system requiring two or more steps (e.g., centimeters to kilometers). Convert units within the customary measurement system requiring two or more steps (e.g., inches to yards). Solve multi-step problems by analyzing information from one or more graphical displays of data. Graphically represent and describe the distribution of data through appropriate graphical displays.
- **Distinguished**: Solve relevant multi-step problems requiring the conversion of customary measurements or metric measurements.
